About the art - We at EG would like to thank the following artists for their contributions to this issue:

Eric Curry - All department logos, and various photography

This is the space that is usually reserved for thanking all of the various artists who contribute to the issue. The problem is, we just didn't use any this issue. So if you are one of those people consumed with watching the credits for names you might recognize - FORGET IT! Maybe next month.

We would, however, like to thank all of you who wrote in and entered the "Why EG is best" contest. It makes my heart glow warmly to think that there are people out there who actually strain their eyes on a monthly basis to read what I have to write in this small, insignificant space. All I have to say to you kind and wonderful people is - get a life! But keep buying EG or they'll cancel the staff Christmas party. 'Till next month - CIAO.
